To be sure, thank you! Hey, by the way, one of these days I shall do a video you may find useful for your work, but I'll let you know at Instagram when the time comes :p
@@ArithHärger that’s great! I look forward to it.
Apollo the Wolf God is such a great read! It's a little more difficult to get one's hands on, though. It's on US Amazon for $40 plus shipping and that's the least expensive listing that I can find currently. (I got my copy for slightly less). 128 pages of otherwise very hard-to-find academic material makes it a good deal, though.
I’m italian and honestly this is the first time that I hear about this interpretation about the birth of Rome. What we are told usually is that the she-wolf was “simply” moved by Mars, the God of War, since the wolf is an animal linked to this God. So almost the opposite, like it was not so humble since a God actively acted for it.
I know that we are just giving interpretazione of the past, but what do you think about this different perspective?
The book's title got me excited. The book's reviews, curb stomped my excitement.
Exactly same here
I haven't read the book but I think maybe I know were the autor got the " Gaia" thing idea... he must be a "Werewolf the Apocalypses" player, is a Role playing game, the kind like dungeons and dragons but about werewolves, and Gaia is their main deity.
😂
Hi- Im the author:) Nope, wasnt an Apocalypse player- but am going to start now:) Werewolf magick and Gaia have always been interwoven:)
@@dennysargent902That is right!
Thank you for doing this, Arith. So many books these days are poorly researched and/or referenced, and it’s good to know before buying.
My spirit animal all of 2021 has been MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!! Dig it??!!

do you have more book suggestions?
Many thanks
Arith, you're growing your hair back :) cool. This is off topic from your video...However, a while back I questioned your ability to complete the 24 Elder Futhark runes, because most people on TH-cam do not complete the whole set...Since I've gotten to know you a little bit more, it is to no surprise...Your understanding of the runes is the most comprehensive and resonates deeply with my own truth, so thank you very much!
...and your eye is healing up well ;)
Indeed, winter is coming and I need some natural fur. I'll shave my head again when summer returns. Concerning my rune series, don't worry. As I've said each rune come in due time and I promisse you my rune series will reach an end this year ^^ only one more to go! Stay well and thank you friend! :D
@@ArithHärger you look good
@@ArithHärger I know you are almost done with the runes :D it's pretty Epic really.
I've been watching every rune video each time a specific rune's significance has appeared to me, so I havnt been studying them in order.. your videos are very helpful. All the best and keep safe.
Always keeping it real. Once you know truth how could you possibly accept less
You are my favorite TH-camr in these topics. I hope you live a healthy and happy life.
Thank you very much, you are very kind! Thank you for your well wishes, and I wish you the same! :D
It's nice to see such a good honest book review ! Thank you for sharing with us . Take care .
Thank you for your work Arith!
Damned warwilfs!
I applaud you for being a true diplomat ☺️
I try my best. Sometimes I just want to lift my staff and shake it, curse to the seven winds and tell kids to get out of my lawn and got back into the cave. But it cannot be like that :p hehe. Thank you!
This Book review is FIRE!!! 🔥 He's at once, "Savage AF", while remaining "Kind/Fair and Respectful AF" 🤘😂 Giving SICK INSIGHTS, which the Author would SURELY find both true and fascinating, and both Arith and they would RISE and GROW Together,
In Philosophical Expansion!
❤️🔥🛐
Okay watched it now, cool new look Arith.
Guard us from the she wolf and the wolf, and guard us from the thief, oh Night, and so be good for us to pass.
I am a worshipper of the wolf gods and goddesses and he left a few things out that l found on research of my own -it is an enjoyable read-it is interesting to see that a salve would help these werewolves shapeshift much like flying ointment -in the process of finishing it-thanks for the review
More likely that a salve would give some alternation in the mind when combined with other ingredients that are ingested more than the body. Most of these "transformations" are people who are putting on wolf skin or bear skin and going into a trance or taking hallucinogens.
The salve was only one of three supposed methods of werewolf transformation recorded by investigators in Middle Ages France. The others were:-
- a bite from another werewolf/wolf
- a person was so “evil” they would spontaneously become a werewolf.
The last concept is interesting because the people at the time were using the idea of a werewolf to describe what we’d think of now as a serial killer or psychopath.
Obviously completely different from the older pre Christian ideas of Wolf Cult, but the word was recycled, adding another layer of complexity to the myths and legends.
@@ofwolfandmanbook1517 yep
@@ofwolfandmanbook1517 can you suggest me books about werewolf transformations or rituals? It's so hard to find a nice book about this. :(

The final note of wisdom of trying and failing and its intrinsic value is well worth the purchase of the book but moreso an already ongoing subscription to the fine channel, hopping onto the channel for review and discussion, and finding further tomes for research and pondering. My first impression on browsing some of the author's several books is the doing sparked by imagination. And prompting crtical thinking and questioning from the prospective reader! In that sense, its being written and published is a boon! I had wondered, what in the world, but like many fascinating topics, it invites curiosity. Only until one actually embodies or starts on a path of diligent practice, then grounded actuality is critical for success in endeavors. Maybe it's the difference between a free wheeling exchange of ideas and of rigorous research. I dunno. Waxing on here with curiosity and wonder. I'm glad this book is around somehow AND for your kind and discerning review! Or I wouldn't have paused to think further.
Thank you for sharing, light and perception.
Nice with some honesty, Romulus and Remus could be units, then the story also make sense ;)
So if you guys had to come over for dinner, what do we get you? I mean, would a big bag of Hills and some cans of dog food do?
Do you have a top 5 or top 10 list of your go to books? Thank you
Oi, Arith! 😂
@@chaptermastertiberius I'm afraid he will not be sharing such things. Let alone any practices. He is quite secretive on that end.
Well he has Helrunar on the shelf behind him, that is worth a read. Jan Fries.
@@AlternicityBlogspot good spot!
I would love a video of slavic chernobog
You have a lot of patience sir. I would have been very tempted to throw the book at the wall, and I despise such mistreatment of books. I don’t know if I would have made it past those first few chapters
if you find a better book on werewolf magick please let us know :)
Good video. As you say, it's always useful to hear someone else's point of view, even if it won't coincide with ours. I miss a bit your "tack för idag" at the end of the videos, I hope sometimes you'll be caught off guard and say that (or was someone commenting that you can't speak Swedish since you're not from Sweden?). Huge hugs from Italy
Hey friend! :D Oh I've changed the "tack for idag!" to english because many people ask me what I say at the end of the videos, eventhoight at least 180 videos of mine have subtitles and they can just read it along with the translation :P so since no one cares about subtitles I decided to say it in english for a time just so people get used to it and then I get back to the original swedish ^^ No one ever asks why I say "tack för idag!" though. Stay well! Have a great day! :D
@@ArithHärger hahahahaha, always so nice to hear from you 😁 I always watch your videos with subtitles on, you express so many concepts, it can happen to miss something otherwise...by the way, why do you say tack för idag in Swedish? How did you learn that? Were your Sami friends who taught you, did you study Swedish, or nånting helt olika?
Still owe you a beer, when this cursed pandemic will be over 😉
You're always so kind even when you're bit disappointed. I love how you always keep it real and authentic! 🙏 Great stuff as usual Arith 🙌🤗
Love your input and perspective.
SING INWARDS, sing as hard as you can.
I use the TIBETAN THROAT SINGERS method and gained world class ability in 2006-07 while in recovery from 17 years of AMNESIA.
I sang so hard for 9-10 months from Dec 06 to Oct 07.
You have to think of your lungs as the inside of an acoustic guitar and intentionally sling your words inwards as you start each phrase.
You feed yourself air this way and rarely have to take a breath as you feed your lungs the air you need with each word you sing inwards like you are throwing a tennis ball as hard as you can with your hand and then catching it / reveberating it outwards.
After 2 hours straight of singing you gain about 200% range suddenly.
I was singing about 8 hours a day at least at that time.
Had I had community around to help and to cherish my recovery and to go after the criminal predator who had severely disabled me back then, and if my poetry, music and vocals been utilized in a commercial manner back then, I would've shined as bright as Layne Staley, Eddie Vedder, these noteworthy expressionists who like me, got betrayed by the conditions of life as kids/youth.
17 years amnesia.
I am.
When you sing METALLICA, sing it as ENTER SADMAN.
Feel the SADMAN vibe when the suffer is there and with an ALCHEMIST MINDSET use the chaos & duress & confusion & hate as transform it into TRUST & RELIABILITY.
I generally found the book, as you said, to not be what I hoped for but did find positive elements therein. I was bewildered by the complicated rituals, frankly.
Deart Arith, your acumen is constantly astounding.
I could not disagree with you
I really like this book was one of favourites
Book I’ve read this year
I looked up this book and honestly got really disheartened by the reviews, awesome to see yours. Way more forgiving description and I may pick it up to mess around with it
So ...it's a magic book without any magic ,is that it?
Hmmm, nown I'm going to listen to Shakira's song 'She Wolf" in a whole different light.
Thanks
Native American tribes in their creation stories said the tribes of humans were made from other things and transformed from Wolves Trees excetra by the spirits that were there first or Creator beings because there were not enough people.
Perhaps some shapeshiftings myths came from these teachings.
powerwolf is a cool band... haha but I think you are %100 on this.
No my friend mythology is so much more than that.. they are complex symbolic allegories but but for historical events.. you of all people should know that
One of those books which uses a paragraph instead of a sentence to explain something, huh.
Not read this book. But when you speak of Gaia, this reminds me of the World of Darkness, Werewolf RPG's. There they talk of Gaia. So fictional.
There’s also a controversial scientific theory called the Gaia Hypothesis by James Lovelock.
“also known as the Gaia theory or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating, complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet.”
@@ofwolfandmanbook1517 Ah okay, i mean the word "Gaia" isn't new. But when used in an context of werewolves, the rpg's is the only thing that comes into my mind. Of course i only got somewhat knowledge of the nordic Varulv and myths. So there is a possibility i have missed a Werewolf/Gaia link somewhere.
@@niklaskarlsson550 I’ve not come across any direct earth mother goddess connection to Wolves/Werewolves.
The only tenuous link is in Dumezils Trifunctional hypothesis for Proto Indo European society. Where wolves are designated as linked to the middle-plane/earth.
But this approach is highly speculative.
I appreciate your content. Thank you.
Do you have a video on your thought's of christianity and its many flaws and stolen beliefs? I would love to hear your thoughts on it while breaking it down with certain elements. You are very intelligent.
Better “The Dream-Hunters of Corsica” by Dorothy Carrington
yes!
What about that book on your shelf behind you, Helrunar? Would you advise reading that to further understand rune magic?
hope it is ok to comment here about this ..i suscribe to you and think your amazing , thank you , i have a question about wedding spoons? i believe they are a nordic tradition , my fiancee has bought two sets of these and he saw them in a museum . he also reads a book Finnish legends for children 1893,..it has characters in it such as wainamoinen .hope i spell that right and illmorinen, just wondered what you know about any of this . we live in england. many thanks my freind.
well what can I say ...... I read almost half of this book let out a very loud howeeeellllllll !!!! and then gave up ! I think your review was more than fair Arith I dont know that I would have been so kind :) I will now clean the blood from my fur and head back to the forest ! LOL
Artigaste sågningen någonsin ;)
Tack för idag!
Try basl kadmon
I think the author of this book might have been one of the old school therianthropes.
I just bought this book not too long ago and I love it
Aaaaoooowww 🐺🖤
What books are out there that do go deep into werewolf cults
Its like people throw a bunch of random stuff on paper with a super pretty cover and call it a pagan book for $10+ . Even tho it holds little substance.
Arith. Love. "Your". Work. 🐝
Any book recommendations for alternatives with similar themes? theory papers are welcome too 🙂 or do you have videos with links to books perhaps? Sometimes it's overwhelming to find information outside of the usual sagas and eddas
“Adam Douglas - The Beast Within” is a good overview from the oldest werewolf myths to the present day.
“Barry Lopez - Wolves and Men” is a history from a naturalist perspective.
“Kris Kershaw - The One Eyed God” is a deep dive into all manner of sources, and though I don’t agree with their conclusions, as a collection of references is excellent.
And for very weird/dubious books:-
Handbook of Werewolfism - Frater D
Rite of the Werewolf - M W Ford
How to Become a Werewolf - Anton LaVey
Manifesto of the Wolf - C Johnson
Morphosephram - W R Wraithe
Myrkthursablot - Niðafjöll & Wilthijaz Yggr

some woman do have hair....high testosterone with dark hair on the lip especially with aging.....now the fair woman of high estrogen with low body hair and light colored body hair seems to be more of a human ideal
Again I say.... awoo ♥

@@colinp2238 too much culture in this wonderful quoting, mister Paterson 🤣
@@annalisalundberg4561 Well if you got it - flaunt it.
Arith, do you have pink eye, perhaps?
Unfortunately it isn't and it is taking a long time to heal..this happened before and had to go through surgery.
Denny is not a rel werewolf . A real werewolf can preform mature magic

I share a LOT of your videos on Facebook in a public group All Pagans, Norse and Heathens.
Meu amigo mantenha sempre a legenda disponível abraços Marcelo
Infelizmente o TH-cam acabou com essa opção em setembro de 2020. Agora só através de empresas e pagando :/
@@ArithHärger se eu pagar recebo esse recurso ?
Hmmm So this book doesn't get the Eddy Quest Good House Keeping Seal of Approval.
Thanks for the review. I will be sure not to touch the book.
Me; pfft wearwolves are so fake
My really large dog; I know right
Werewolf transformations were always meant to be spiritual, not physical, but that doesn’t make for saleable movies :-)
Dang buddy. Good to see a you thats not three years old. What happened to your eye bud. Other than that your looking good kid. And thanks for all the help with the runes
I like your videos.
Hmmm.... sharpening your claws on someone's psyche.... your cats must be wearing off on you.
Arith, stop wasting your time on reviewing these rubbish. There are plenty of other books that has more substance & worth. Might I suggest 'Wolfs-Head' by Shani Oates? I believe no one has made a review of this book yet. (bit expensive though) It'll be interesting to see your take on this.
Great ♥☆
So I'm happy I'm 16 😁😄
Wicca Werewolf's!!! Is that a thing? I might have to read it now

Awesome thank you for this 🔥🔥🔥. Right why put symbols in your book you don't even know correctly and really haven't done the research....🤣. That is just horrid. I don't want to read it.
Books that are full of fancy nonsensical prose that prove the author knows nothing. Damn, you really went for Apocalyptic Witchcraft there didn't you haha
I would be honored if you did a review of my book “Unlocking the Secrets of Sorcery.” It can be found on Amazon.
Sorry,but not sorry.
The black sun the best modern Germanic pagan symbol!
Virgo would be the "She-Wolf", Isis in ancient times seen riding the back of a wolf and like Isis has many names Virgo does too. The Arabs saw a lion and a kennel of dogs barking at the lion in the stars of Virgo, and the ancient names have endured
Auva meaning barking dog
Zaniah a kennel star
Rijl Al Awwa foot of the barker
The star Porrima named after an ancient goddess of prophesy, would be the breast that flow wisdom, the stars that form the head are faint but has many eyes in the form galaxies that look like eye but the face be missing but the hair & Tiara are found in Coma Berenices (Venus/war) but that be another story back to the twins which is are calendar year cut in half found in the story of Persephone and Zeus's decreed that Persephone should leave the underworld and be with her mother for half the year, from March until August, on leap year March 1st is February 29th and placing the 365 days of the year in a circle, drawing a line 180 degrees across you land on August 31st and around this time Virgo begins to rise with the Sun giving meaning to her riding the wolf Like Sirius the "Dog Star" rises with the Sun for 40 days they call "Canicula" 'puppy dog' ending about the time the Sun rising in the belly of Virgo, go back 9 months and you find the Sun in a cave shaped constellation Ophiuchus and at noon Christmas day on the back of the shape-shifting bear Ursa Major, who be a whelp it be a bear cub a lion cub the trickster fox cub the puppy dog be a whelp like the wolf cub and also the child of man be called a whelp
Now a little of my magick which play backwards says wisdom and you can do this with numbers and we'll use Feb. 29th(March 1st) and Aug. 31st, first 29, record the words "God Is New" and play back in reverse you hear "29" do the same with "Now Lead Earth" it will say "31" add it to "Now Lead Earth, Way, See God" in reverse it says "August Leo 31" and across from Leo is Aquarius riding a fish with a wolfish red eye called Fomalhaut but in ancient times seen as Wepwawet a wolfheaded god a protector of the belly NOW RECORD THIS "Thou Am Wolf" played backwards "Fomalhaut" March, Pieces the fish are "Strong(march) She Saw(Pieces)" and guess what February says "You Will Be Fed" the wolf will feed but on who? Aquarius has a echo too it is "Say you will talk" meaning he be a BARKER, if you like I'll show you the wolf eating the sun surely you know that myth and is not Loki father of a foot biting wolf and you find the wolf hiding in each eye "I wolf I Too Will Come" played backwards "Macula Lutea Fovea" a little golden egg in a nest a dimple "Eyes See All" played backwards "Eyes See All"
P.S. You say WATER (Life) By saying "HER DOG" and Spike a common dog name and the star Spica is EYE CUPS OR I CUPS both hold water.
@@MrBlazingup420 OMG... I had a dream and will never forget the voice that said to me
"Now you start talking."
Echo of Aquarius 👁
Who will know!!!
You and I share so many genetic traits its like looking in a mirror. brother. Rogain is your friend. I buy it expired on ebay bc its cheap and my hair line has returned back 10 years. I only say this bc you look like me so you need to stay good looking, dont want to see a not good looking version of me.
Your going down the wrong path
